This week, Tiga Bayles, a long time advocate and activist for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander industrial and civil rights died after a long illness. Tiga was central to the long running fight by Aboriginal workers in the state of Queensland to recover their stolen wages. The Queensland Council of Unions acknowledged Tiga’s huge contribution to the working class movement. Tiga was also a long time broadcaster and journalist for Aboriginal media. His contribution will be missed. Our condolences go to his family, friends and community.
